Might Do Better Next Time.

Rev. Dr. Thirdly, who is somewhat advanced in years, was making a pastoral call, and 7-year-okl Frances was entertaining him until her parents should descend to the parlor. “You haven't much hair on your head, Dr. Thirdly,’’remarked tlie little girl. “Not much, Frances,” replied the clergyman, genially. “How do you like being bald?” “I prefer It that way, Frances. All smart men are bald-headed.” “Are they?” “Oh, yes. It is a great ; honor to be bald.” * ’ • “is ttr* — t" — s “Certainly.” “Wouldn’t you like to be a boy again, Dr. Thirdly?” ’ “Xo, Frances; I don’t think I should. I am quite satisfied with my age.” “Well,” added the little girl, “I 'should think you’d like to begin again, so that you could lead a better life.’*”'
